Makes my job easier when they put in the work for it 💪
Quick shoutout to @DeekenKyle He’s coached all three of my sons: Caleb, Joshua, and Levi. And now that Levi’s 4x8 team has made state, he’s gotten all three to state in either XC or Track. Thank you for caring, supporting, and for pushing my kids to be their best.

I feel like Michael Scott when they returned from Christmas and Holly was either engaged or single. “Gummy bears and gummy worms?” “Bears sad, worms happy, come on Erin..” #WalzForVP

I’ve been in his shoes more times than I’d like. We’re going to bounce back in a massive way. I’m so fortunate to be his coach and ready to see him burn up the XC course this fall.
Once again, the Track gods giveth, and they taketh away. Hunter Stahl is the… GAC North Record holder District Champion Sectional Champion School Record Holder …in the 3200m Run. He is a straight A student and XCTF Captain Today didn’t go our way. We’ll be back soon.

Absolutely amazing to have witnessed. I am so incredibly proud of this guy and grateful to be his coach. He is going to continue to do amazing things in his career. He is the 9th different athlete I have helped earn all-state now!
ALL STATE CLASS 4 3200! Sophomore Mitchell Lerner took 6th place in a gutsy race with not very many PRs in the field. Perfectly ran, never panicked, moved up so well in the 2nd mile. A Pro’s run and our school’s 2nd ever male all-state athlete! #CHIPS #RunLikeAGrizzly

#FluThoughts The pole vault should have a bouncy house slide so if you clear the bar, you land at the top and get to slide down. Hydraulic lift goes up when the heights go up. Interest in pole vault would go 📈

Phantom Menace is a good movie.
What Star Wars opinion will you defend like this?

I’m not sure I’ll let my kids run cross country. In my uneducated opinion: Competitive long distance running is not good for a human. Cycling is the same. These folks look 10-20 yr older than they are. Many have eating disorders and it is terribly sad - especially prevalent in the young ladies. Skin and hair look unhealthy on the folks who run really long distances competitively. Worse than football in my humble opinion… Am I wrong? What are your thoughts?

*day before/of a big meet* “Coach I hurt my knee diving for a ball in PE. I think it’ll be okay though” *limps away*
I'll jump on the trend. What aspect of coaching makes you look like this?!?! Mine is the following: (After explaining the workout clearly, concisely all while messaging it out beforehand) Athlete (immediately after): Wait...what do we have today?" What is yours?

The dynamic duo! Couldn’t have had all this success this year without @TFXCSimms by my side.
It’s been fun coaching with this guy the last couple years. One of the best XC and Distance Coaches around. I coached at Maryville University when he ran there (sprints, jumps, hurdles, multi) and now he coaches TWO of my sons. I’m old lol Looking forward to the State Series!

I appreciate it 🤙
Big shoutout to @DeekenKyle who not only works as a school counselor, but on the days we have track meets he is doing that all afternoon and evening, and THEN he stays up for hours formatting and uploading results into momilesplit so coaches like me can have meet results ASAP 👏🏼
